The Book of Isaiah is one of the richest and most intricate book in the Bible. Because much of it is prophecy, it is often avoided or passed-over. But it is hugely important.

In the book of Isaiah (and in the whole Christian story), we are introduced to the idea that God is the ultimate judge of the world. God is the only one with authority to declare what is right and what is wrong in our world. We are also introduced to the idea that God is our savior – that God plans to redeem and restore a broken universe. These two ideas go hand-in-hand. They depend on each other. God is both the judge and the savior. This means that God has a plan to make all things right in the end, and that a necessary part of that process is declaring what is not yet right. This is the message of Isaiah the prophet. The judgment of God declares what is broken; the promise of God is to heal.
